Zante Palace Hotel

MESSAGE FOR PURPLE TURTLE: Thank-you very much. We have now sent Yannis a mail and are now waiting for a reply off him. What date in September are you going back to Zante?? We really can't wait to go back in October, it will be nearly three years since we last went. Anyway, thanks again for all your help it's much appreciated. Take Care xxx

MESSAGE FOR PURPLE TURTLE: Thankyou so much for your kind information. My dad is the main one who kept incontact with Yannis and thespina but sadly yannis changed his mail address and we haven't heard anything from him for a while. Is there any chance you could send me his mail or ask yannis yourself to get in contact with Gary Watson. if he can't remember him (but I'msure he will remember us!!) then tell him Helena, Gary, Vicky, Dominic and Simon say hello. This should re-fresh his memory on who we are!! Here is my dads mail address for Yannis: gw1967@ntlworld.com

Stayed at the Zante Palace Apartments June 2002, yes during the world cup. Had the most wonderful holiday, so good that we are going back June 2003. Yannis and staff are the best.

Hi, Ive been to Zante three times and I'm coming back again in October with my Boyfriend, Mum and Dad and my two little brothers. We all love the Zante Palace especially the bar staff, Yannis, Debbie,Katarina, Ilias, Mario and Lilly the cook. Unfortunatly we have lost contact with Yannis&staff and I was wondering if he will be running the Zante Palace Pool Bar again this coming season. If any of you know if Yannis is going to be running the bar this season then please leave a note on this page.

Very enjoyable holiday. One week went fast. Good pool excellent bar and snacks. Bit of a noisy road but soon got used to it. Definately return.

wish to retract 'average' comments below -all EXCELLENT'E!!!! gill.

forgot to mention the great atmosphere whilst world cup was taking place, wouldn't have watched the matches anywhere else, but with yannis &co, at zante palace. We stayed between 13th - 20th june this year, so it was world cup fever! unfortunately, we went out to brasil the day after we returned to geordieland. gill, julie, ashton and katie

One of my favourite holidays to date! Very impressed with apartment - exquisite views! Yannis and his staff provided excellent hospitality - sorry we didn't get to say goodbye - our coach came early! We will return!! Gillian, Julie and daughters Ashton and katie.

Tsilivi is a great place to stay,not so keen on the walk to appartments allright if you are a pack-horse.Could do with air-con thru-out the complex.Pool area get,s like a torture chamber, no shade to hide from the heat if your not mad for the ray,s.Any old football shirts you may have take them with you,Yannis[JOHN]in english will display your team in his bar!.Bar stays open late...very late, not too noisey though.Time spent here 12th Aug-2 weeks not one drop of rain!

Been to Tsilivi twice before and we are flying out again in October. Zante Palace is an excellent hotel. Would recommend it to anyone, especially families and couples. The hotel is clean, mini market on site and as for the bar staff well what can I say?? They really make your holiday complete. A BIG 'Yassou' to Yannis, Despina, Katerina, Ilias and not forgetting Lilly - the fab cook!! Missing you all but will see you soon. Love from Victoria 'Principle'- as Yannis call's me!!

Family & friends really enjoyed Zante Palace Apartments. The last time we were there was June 2000, before that was September 1999, enjoyed the holiday except for very freak thunderstorms for about 4 to 5 days on and off. I have not ever experienced this before. This did not put us off going again. Brilliant Holdiay, Great atmosphere with Greek music on fridays and Barbeque's on Sunday. Thanks very much to Yannis, Despina and his very friendly team of bar staff, they make this holiday worth while and definatly enjoyable. I recommend Zante Palace Apartments to familys and couples. The drive way up to apartments is a bit of hill to climb from the road, but you don't notice it when you have had a few drinks. Airtours Reps, put on a great cabaret show every Tuesday in Kalamaki. You can book through Going Places or to save money direct via your local Airport's website. Zante Palace have just gone live today, with their first new website which is still under construction. You can still view while under construction. www.zantepalace.com very interesting so far with the pictures.

Whoops .....sorry here is my email incase email me direct thanks CRAC07@aol.com

Hi We are hoping to book a trip to Tsilivi next september and the Zante Palace Apts are the ones we have looked at, are they ok for families as ours will be 10 & 5 when we go....I know theres the hill to walk up....but apart from that...will the appartments be ok for family with younger kids..:0)...I have read comments and they sound very good....any other suggestions for families too, would help as never been to Zante or Greece before..thanks Amanda

Can anyone provide details to book the Zante Palace direct traveling in July this year. email k.hillier@ntlworld.com

The comment below was meant for Magdelenas Cocktail bar. Had a wonderful time at the Zante palace and a big thanks to Yannis and the rest of the staff at the pool bar. From Duncan (Highlander,McLeod 560 something years old),Fiona, Gary (big ears Linneker)and Andrew. Hope to see you all again sometime. Don't be put off by comments about cardiac hill. It is steep but relatively short. The center of Tsilivi is only a 15 minute stroll away. And remember everything operates on GMT (Greek Maybe Time. The apartments were offering an exchange rate of 525 when we were there which was better than most of the exchanges in Tsilivi which were around 523 but apparently you could get 536 in Zakynthos town.

Not bad for Internet access although a touch pricey at £1/15mins and I couldn't understand their pricing structure as it was more than double for half an hour. In Paphos we typically paid £1/hr.

well we have been 11 times in 9 years and every year it gets better and this year 18 of us went out for a holiday to remember. lisa nice bum, thank you you too no knickers?. we all love yanni,despina,mario and katerina, illios we would recomend zante palace to everyone if you have a fitness test before you go as the hill is a killer and so is the greek dancing ask my mum? (on the bar pole dancing she is so embarassing)and mrs wade skinny dipping in the pool. and dave piggy wiggy and my dad paul with the black eye there were 6 men one greek who did not want to go in the pool but he did? silly a**e.we love them all yammas!!!!!

Wonderful Holiday,made even better by the hospitality and laughs at the pool bar,thanks to Yannis,Debs,Mario,Katrina...not forgetting Ilias... Will see you again Derek,Stephanie,Siobhan & Lauren

Just got back weather was great.Special thanks to the Pool bar staff Yannis & wife, Katerina, Mario and not forgetting SillyAss for making a good holiday great. (Easy Tiger!)

Have now been back in COLD England for a week and a half, and am so missing Zante,(Tsilivi)! Zante Palace was excellent, and the view from our apartment was wonderful! A big thankyou for Yannis and barstaff they were just great, (sorry Yanis, didnot have time to say goodbye!) See you next year Lesley & Sonya

This is after our 5th year. Owners now need to spend some money,on new bath towels and slight redecorations but apart from that a good place to stay with good views. The staff at the pool bar Yiannis, Despina, Caterina, Elias, Mario and Lilian wiil make sure you have one of the best holidays you've ever had they know and enjoy their job and are the best on the island.

Hiya its Caz, Just wanted to say a great big thank you to all the bar staff (Yannis, Thespina, Ilias, Marious and Katerina) You all made my stay at Zante Palace excellent! I enjoyed the quiz nights, the BBQ, Kareoke nites etc I m at the moment begging my mum and dad to come back to Zante Palace next year. A big hello to Ilias as you made my stay espicially great, love u loads Caz p s i WILL be back next year!!!!!!

Apartments very clean and well maintained with a great view. Yannis and the pool bar staff were full of fun and served good food and ice cold beers!! Great places to eat in Tsilivi which sets you up for the climb up cardiac hill !!! We had a brilliant time and will be returning to stay here in the future.

had a good time at Zante Palace and would definatley consider going back there again in the future, even with the climb up cardiac hill. The view from the terrace was well worth it. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Accommodation was clean.

the best holiday we ave ever been on goin again next year the most hyper bar staff u wil ever meet esspecially illia he is on summut! mario caterina yanni and his wife r all well cool nice food there its just amazin!

My boyfriend and I loved it, Yannis, Despina and all their staff certainly made our holiday worth while, we sampled more than a few of their cocktails!!! We have already booked for next year!

This is the best holiday ne1 can eva hv! And Evan is fit!!!

We've been twice and had a brilliant time.Yiannis and Despina worked so hard to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and we can't wait to come back again next year.Don't let the steep hill put you off-just make sure you take your oxygen with you!

The best greek night and BBQ in town The very best cocktails in town - Will definately be back in September this year - health permitting.

I have visited Tsilivi for the last three years with my husband and daughter. My parents and my brother and his wife have also visited. For the last two years we have all stayed at the Zante Palace Hotel and it is abosolutely brill. We keep looking at other holidays but again this year we all want to come back to the Zante Palace Hotel. The people who run the bar are lovely fun people who work extremely hard at making sure everyone has a fantastic holiday. It spoils you really for ever going anywhere else. Why would you bother?

If you want prices, you have to look in the Airtours brochure, as it is exclusive to them!

Hiya Could you plese email me with the cost of a room for myself and my wife in the first week of October 2001 Many thanks Michael Reynolds (Halifax) bionicman1994@aol.com

I would like to know the prices for 1 adult and 1 child aged 7 staying at the Zante Palace in Tsilivi during July and August. My thanks Mr K. English

Just great!

Well worth a visit. The best holiday we've had in a long time. (Don't let the hill put you off it's well worth the hike). Vicky & Stewart (Leeds)

6 times, 6 years same place, top floors better for views. from grandma to grandchild,best spot in tsilivi. Pool small and gets the afternoon breeze. Hill steep but taxis frequent and cheap as gran appreciates

Great

The staff are very good and the apartments are clean, the pool is excellent, but not the walk up the hill!(cardiac climb). The bar and restuarant are good. Not a lot in the hotel or resort for kids. No bath only small shower cubicle and you must pay a £20 deposit on arrival which was not mentioned by Airtours! You can hire kettle, toaster and fans from reception.

had a fab time. very clean. the kids loved it.(the baby especially). Yannis + the crew were the best. the SQUEAKY BED was mind blowing!(the cocktail) thanks Yannis!!!!!!!!! The hill was a nightmare but you do get used to it. Leah says hi to all her mates and Jordan says goo to Katerina. will be back next year for definite.

Very exclusive compaired with the arpartments in the town

We spent the last week in May there and it was one of the best holidays we`ve had. Yannis and Despina who run the bar definately helped to make it memorable. Wish i was back there now.........

This hotel was fantastic, really clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. The hill climb takes a bit of getting used to (but when drunk you hardly notice it). The hotel has it's own bar which is great and the couple that run it, Yannis & Despina, make you very welcome and also make the nights very memorable especially the BBQ on a sunday which is great value for £4.We would definitly stay here again.

These airtours exclusive award winning apartments are set against the hills means nice cool rooms but the pool takes till mid afternoon to get warm. Not at lot on site for children more for couples and older families. However we liked it even though we had kiddies as it was not over run with children. Ideally located for the beach a short 5 minute walk away along a private road. The beach runs parallel to the road into town and an abundance of restaurants could be found. Just outside the apartments there was a supermarket so provisions did not hav eot be hauled a long distance. Just above the apartments was our favoutie restaurant set high above the hills . You could go into to town early get a free pony and trap up to this restaurant and then have a short evening stroll back down to the Zante Palace Apartments. We enjoyed the walking although we are not hikers. Our children at the time were aged 4 and 9. Excellent would certainly go agian.
